As bummed as I was to see my boys lose, I was truly happy for you. Hossa, Kane and Toews are scary good most nights, but Ward was on fire tonight.

Could you tell how crappy the ice was, Joe? They had a basketball game (NC State) 5 hours before the hockey game, it was still covering the ice surface 2 hours before game time. Puck looked like a superball.

I watched for you in the crowd, but didn't see you.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Ice did seem to be a little off... saw several times when skates lost edges. That must be why the 'Canes won. ;)

I was in section 109, Row Z, Seat 17. Here was my view...

Looks like a great view Joe!

Like Patrick Sharp commented about the ice condition after the first period, "both teams have to play on the same ice, so it's no excuse".

I suffered many years of this with the Sharks. I know your pain. My new pain is the playoffs. Last year I sold my first round because I knew they would get beat.

Great two videos of Alan. Glad to see he is back out there you can tell he has the hunger. Are those Vapors he is wearing? I thought you were Graf guys. :D


Joe that save on kane in the 3rd on the PP when he was standing infront of the goal was epic. The lateral movement and then just waiting him out and then flashing the leather. My jaw just dropped.

Watching this sharks game on my phone at work. I think the Sharks may drop this one Minn is hanging around and has had the lead twice.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Lol, you have an eye for skates my man! Jr wears Vapors, Mitch is the Graf guy. :)

Jerome Iginla gets the "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" vs the Oilers. Gotta love that.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yeah I am a gear whore. Its a problem my wife has told me :)


Sharks Storm back and take one from the wild. After a slow start which saw the number 1 pk in the league give up 2 goals on 2 PPs. They circle the wagons and win 5-2.


An Epic Game if you love fights. Look at the bench at the end of the game :r:r

I been biting my tongue all season because the Bruins have been ravaged by injury's.

Enough is enough, two major deals that are hurting the B'S Claude Julien should be fired, he has lost the locker room?

The problem is he singed a contract extension last season and is not even into it yet, so unfortunately his job is safe.The Bruins are still paying the last coach Dave Lewis, the cheap ass Bruins will not pay three coaches.

Next is Tim Thomas they gave him an extension and big money and are stuck with him, he gives up soft goal after soft goal he has to go?

I guess Peter Chiarelli should be looked at to?

The Bruins worked hard to get the fan base back,and could be in danger of losing a lot of fans if the ship is not righted.

We will support a losing team but will not support a team that does not put in an effort, skate hard how a bout a fore check oncne in a while, and drop the darn cloves.

Rant off :D

Son of a BiXh Big trade between the Leafs and Flames.
LoL last week Phanuef said he knew nothing about asking to be traded.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=515662

As a closet Leafs fan and a non Phaneuf fan I am not happy. I know this is Burke's kind of guy, well kind of atleast. He hits but he doesnt answer the bell for the fight. This trade has me scratching my head, I dont think it will bring much.

Looking at the Stats of the Players going back and forth I think Shawn should be happy as I think the Flames will get some immediate firepower. That said the Aulie kid may also be a big factor. Apparently he is big and impressive and may have a great future ahead.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Ugh

Not sure I like this one.

Seems we gave away a lot for some maybes............I think this trade was born of desperation.

The other thing is I am pretty sure that Dion wanted out of Calgary.

Watch him over the years...........I think this is a mistake.

If any of these guys can help it click then maybe the flames make a deep run. Fortunately the flames are deep in defence and that won't hurt the team defensively. His big shot will be missed, and he does provide a highlight reel hit now and again.

Seems I have some crow to eat, I said that Phaneuf will never go.

If this backfires I think Sutter is looking at a limited life span.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Damn now the Leafs Trade Toskala and Blake
for Gigi.
Burke is definetly shaking things up. I guess hitting bottom has occurred and he is making changes.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great to see Phaneuf going to a team that doesn't have a prayer of making the playoffs.

Did I mention I don't like Phaneuf? :r

Still hate Sydney Crosby :mad:

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Seeing him in that sweater will be as sad as when I saw Cheli in the wings sweater.

Why couldnt they trade him to florida or Siberia:r

Freakin Bersmoochi is stuck on 15. He needs a hatrick, I may still owe tom 5 sticks.
